If it's anything like the EU's other recent regulatory efforts regarding US big tech, it will be horribly bungled and do nothing but make the lives of citizens harder.

Article 17, the "upload filter" law, has to be in local law June this year, and they have been really struggling (oh wow, who could have predicted this) to write up a suitable proposal that can fulfill the law while not ruining all UGC on the internet. They were told about all the issues, but no one listened.

The old parties in the EU parliament are so riddled with lobbyism, in this case by publishers, that I'm not surprised by anything coming out of it anymore.
Of course, why go through the troubles of putting in the extra hours, if there is no financial compensation or appreciation?

Personally, I would just optimize stuff or propose new features for a product if I would learn something/gain experience out of it.

I have always brought Intel but my newest machine is now AMD. This was combination of AMD excelling with their new series of processors but also the lacklustre performance of Intel.

I would by lying if I said that market perception didn't feed into my decision, it did.

Does that really matter? When used in digital content the color

My preferred color scheme most definitely doesn't look the same

it's close enough that I wouldn't even consider comparing it.
Ask HN: Code Signing Certificates
Hello!
Can you tell me please if you ever used a Code Signing Certificate to release your game on Steam or Windows store?
If Yes, is it difficult to set for a non-coder? Thank you for your answer. Cheers.
I think that would narrow the sales to whom both like that keyboard and the chosen trackball. Some would love it, a lot would like the keyboard but prefer a different trackball or location for it. Or would after a while.
While I agree with your logic, I am open to the point of view that some people would preferentially report someone’s behavior depending on the race of the person involved.

Perhaps a black employee is more likely to get a complaint about rudeness. If so, the race wasn’t made available but still changed the interaction.

Only downside was the performance of the IDE, but still way better then Ecplise.
PWAs are still based on HTML5, Javascript and CSS so the problems with their ease of development still remains.

Flash and Silverlight, Silverlight more, still offer a better approach to development than PWAs because the PWA approach is still fundamentally broken. A pig in lipstick is still a pig.

PWAs may offer convenient delivery, but they don't offer ease of development and performance.
It depends where you are I imagine. Some countries have cultures where any attempts to lessen the messaging in coronavirus news is on par with being morally wrong (or even dangerous). Other cultures are more critical or resistant. HN has a very diverse mix of users from a range of places.
You can just go to any IKEA and buy a replacement part? Every single part they've ever sold is available at the replacement desk in their stores (at least here in Germany). Even individual screws, legs, etc. When I broke a door and one of the hinges of a kitchen cabinet, I just went to IKEA and bought a replacement door (of the exact same type) and replacement hinge) and replaced them.
I actually like Reddit as well. You can remain pseudonymous there if you so choose and still have meaningful interactions with people. And (depending on the sub) people don't form mobs as easily as on Twitter/Facebook.

Social media without moderators was a really bad idea, as we learn now.
> Their job was to carefully read them and double check the numbers.

That's the theory. The reality is that there is no in-depth review. You're lucky if a reviewer actually reads the paper all the way through, let alone checks the numbers and applies a level of critical thought to the methodology, analysis and conclusions.
This is definitely true – in this sense, our initial corpus of regexes are the booster stage for this project, in that they enabled us to produce something useful for journalists in a reasonable timeframe. Typerighter's built as a platform for matching text, so we're not tied to regex – at the moment, we're migrating many rules to LanguageTool, which is a part of our pool of matchers and has a more sophisticated set of NLP tools. (And a great project – thanks LT maintainers!)

Thanks sharing these projects, other suggestions are very welcome – we'd be interested in adding new matchers based on different tech if they were a good fit for the use case.

Not throwing furniture away every few years will seriously help solve the problem. Of course, that would mean fewer sales for companies like IKEA.
Indeed - which is the argument for point-of-extraction carbon pricing. Then you don't have to calculate anything, it gets sorted out along the supply chain by individual decisions as to whether the CO2 cost is worth it compared to the available alternatives at that step.

If you're working a lot in the terminal, than fish's convenient auto-suggestion mechanism is really quite a game changer, and it really "feels" 3x more productive because the prediction is pretty good (each directory has its own command history which fish checks first for matches). It's like replacing a traditional search box which only shows exact matches after you hit Enter with a fuzzy-search-box which immediately displays a most likely match while you're typing.

There are plugins for zsh (and maybe other shells) which emulate this feature though.
If I remember correctly, it is very popular in video games because it is faster to load compressed assets from disk and decompress them in memory than loading the uncompressed assets from disk, even on an SSD.
And that's with 7nm. Still faster than desktop mac mini M1 despite both having fans and AMD having to deal with x86 cruft.

I can wait to get my hands on one of these speed demons for my compilation workloads.
I moved a whole directory of photos once (a year basically) which accidentally landed it outside the tree that was backed up. This looked to the backup as if it was deleted and it was eventually shifted away. Since it was an old directory I never really noticed until it was too late. That’s why I now just pay to keep everything retained. I fit every photo I ever took with ease in a pretty cheap 2TB space.

If it's fast enough you wouldn't only be able to feed more data you'd be able to access it faster as well since you need less bandwidth.

That said it can be quite tricky to rewrite something to efficiently work on compressed data.
I'm curious. I use btrfs daily. Although I have been interested in using zfs, I haven't yet gotten the time. In your experience, is zfs faster than btrfs?
You can say the same thing about Apple, which, by the way, is also a kind of fruit. It looks like the fruity companies are reaping all the fruits from open source software.
You make it sound simple, but from my point of view the ability to update one's
learned representation requires a representation that can withstand being
updated. I mentioned John McCarthy's concept of "elaboration tolerance" in
another comment, i.e. the ability of a representation to be modified easily.
This was not a solved problem in McCarthy's time and it's not a solved problem
today either (see my sibling comment about "catastrophic forgetting" in neural
nets). For shannon's time it was definitely not a solved problem, perhaps not
even a recognised problem. That's the 1950's we're talking about, yes? :)

Here's IKEA's original Press Release which has been worked into this "news" article. The original PR actually has much more clarity: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/this-is-ikea/newsroom/ingka-inves...

IKEA makes it clear that the forest was formerly owned by a conservation group and was seemingly not in danger of being developed, contrary to the headline here.
If they're including transfer time it'd be fun to see how raw data performs.
I don't think he means IKEA owns 33% of the forest. 33% is the total percentage of forest and IKEA is the bigger single owner of forests. Two separate statements.
I clicked on the article, and it showed me no images.
First of all, I though we are past the time where attacking other’s beliefs is acceptable.

Second, have you ever heard of this thing called philosophy? It is not useless to think about the word in an abstract way - without necessary relevance to the physical world. Like, what IS math?

By the way, I do not approve of those believer that go against science, since I think belief and actual reality can go hand-in-hand, and even with God, or perhaps because of Him, one can appreciate the beauty of sciences.

Why would you switch to the moonlander from the Kinesis? The curved design of the kinesis is way better for reducing strain than the flat style of the moonlander/ergodox. If the only factor is programmability, then I think that factor may be overexaggerated in how important it is. Know that anyone who wants to riposte that last point should realize that I'm not a novice to making my own keyboards or programming them. While layers seem like a good idea, it's very difficult to actually come up with enough usecases to find them more useful than just the ability to remap keys and record macros, both of which the Kinesis Advantage 2 can already do.

I also find having two separate pieces a bit annoying since I'll tend to want to fidget with them instead.
New M1 Mac Hotspot from iPhone Not Working???
> Ikea is making furniture, something people really need.

The problem is that, like with clothes, people THINK they need more and newer things all the time because Marketing tells them that they do.

I read somewhere (can't find the link right now) that shit tons of clothes and other items are not laying around in warehouses not being sold (due to lockdown) and I don't see people walking around naked in the streets.

So, before buying something, ask yourself: 1) Do I really need it? 2) Can I buy it used?

> the best long running decision I've ever made

I feel exactly the same way, although initially, this wasn't a conscious decision. I just did not understand the hype and ignored it. For me, as a 90ies kid, social media was IRC, messengers, and email. It still is. When I first read about Twitter, I thought that technologically, it was only one step away from a Hello World web application.
I thought about that. But when using a higher-level language (that comes with a runtime), you need to give privileges to the whole runtime, which arguably has a much bigger attack surface, unless I am mistaken?

The kernel won't allow you to setuid scripts, there is a reason for this: it's very easy to leave glaring security holes while doing so.
You can also search for the serial number on eBay and typically find a compatible part.

As someone who recently moved across the country, that's true with 90% of what I owned. $3000 to ship and I could replace damn near everything for less, with a few exceptions - clothing, electronics, artwork.
The problem is that this app could only be built by the government, but they have interests in all these intermediaries.

Building it from bottom up it's difficult because it means a private company who deals directly with government, and it manages all they money.
In my case it was the fact that fish's scripting language is incompatible with bash's that made me switch back to zsh (after a few years of using fish). It's not a show stopper (otherwise I had switched back earlier), but there's been a dose of small daily frictions because of that.

Ikea sells replacement parts online. Usually, all you need is their number code which you can find in the manual (or if your lost that in the pdf on their website).

I recently ordered a replacement door myself, just to make it look new again.
I'm glad you're considering this.

We're an organisation that builds and runs products (mostly in the open but with occasional confidential issues). We are a silver member with about a dozen developers but 3x as non-developers who need to participate on issues.

Although most issues are open, there are occasionally confidential issues that staff need to be able to view and comment on. The entire annual seat license is required for every member, to work on only a handful of tickets. It's very poor value for money.

For the devs the license is reasonable value for money (we use CI, git, docker repos etc).

But for the majority of staff, and therefore the whole org, value for money is very bad. The GitLab pricing model gives us no option.

It's made it a more difficult sell in the organisation. Boasting about dev features leaves a bad taste in the mouth when only the minority of seat licenses actually need to use them.
There's actually a pretty low-risk 40% gain by doing some paperwork and having access to some big player only loans.

See my other comment for a link which describes the play in more detail.
I just find it comical that liberals went from being happy peace loving hippies, to being uptight ultra-orthodox in their thinking and have this deep urge everyone must just comply. I jokingly like to call it the ultra-orthodox church of the right.

Everyone should be "good" with my exact definition of good, in thinking, feeling, actions and reactions to things.
The thing with IKEA is that most of their furniture looks good at first sight, but when it's been in your living room for a couple of years you tend to become very aware of the somewhat generic blandness of the design, the cheapness of the material and that micro-tuned "just good enough" build quality to the point that it begins to irk. You don't love a piece of IKEA and it is not something you're going to hand to your children when that time comes. I'm quite sure almost all IKEA furniture ends up in landfill within 30 years, so all pretense at durability seems misguided to me.

Also people say IKEA is cheap but IMO it's actually rather expensive for what you're getting. Walk into an auction room and see what you can get for that 200 euro.
I don't think you're wrong, but my basic values, such as "all citizens should have human rights" would be discovered as "a crony belief". And are you suggesting that I therefor rid myself of it?

You're blaming the language for how people use it. It's like saying C is bad because people use it to write root kits.
This is not really a surprise, public health varies greatly even within one country/city. In the UK, there is a similar phenomenon between certain areas of Glasgow and the rest of the country / continent, it is called the "Glasgow effect" [1]. Although the gap is not as wide, "only" 7 years, it is explained by poverty, unbalanced population, low-quality estate and pollution.

The frustrating thing about 7zip is that whilst it's opensource, a single author just does code drops.

Writing software is basically going in debt, so you should write the 20% of software that will deliver 80% of the value. The problem begins when not considering costs and then being "surprised".
I spent a long time devising a solid photo archive strategy.

For "current year" photos i store them on my NAS, backed up nightly, locally and remote.

Every year i then archive the previous years photos onto an identical pair of M-disc BDXL discs (100GB), and store one copy locally and one copy at a "temperature controlled" remote place. I use no compression, encryption or archiving. If there is degration of the physical media i want to minimize the damage.

Along with the archive BDXL media, i store an external drive which contains a complete copy of all photos. I also update this drive every year, and run a non destructive badblocks test on it as well as a long smart test before updating it. The drive is then updated, and rotated with the remote one (typically when storing new M-disc media), and i repeat the process for the retrieved drive.

Again, plain ext4 filesystem (i HOPE FAT32 will finally be dead in a couple of decades), no compression, archiving or encryption.

I never delete the photos from my NAS. The archive is simply "disaster recovery". I only archive photos. Any document will probably have little value in a decade or two.

I'm also fully prepared to migrate my entire archive onto whatever the "next big thing" in archiving becomes. No archives are truly forever. Optical media can go away, USB 2/3 will certainly become obsolete at some point. There's no point in having an archive i cannot access.

And yes, i have considered just creating physical copies of the images and storing them in identical photo albums, but sadly nobody "develops film" anymore, and everything is printed, which also degrades over time, and unlike film of old there are no negatives to reprint images from.
Agreed, and you don't have to burn everything to BR discs, only the most important stuff.

I've recently bought a synology to store my photos. But I'm questioning my reasoning for this at the moment. The upside is that I have a central place to store photos so they aren't scattered around on different laptops and external drives.

But the downside is that it's all in one place and even with backups it's more vulnerable to a single point failure.

So maybe there is some merit to storing photos on smaller external drives and having a few cheap 500gb drives for each year (and make some copies of course). And then maybe pick the best photos and burn to some HTL BR discs. The biggest problem with external drives is incompatible filesystems and fat32/exfat being susceptible to corruption.

Because honestly I'm not going to take another photo in the year 2020, am I?

So instead of diligently backing up my NAS, securing it from hackers and viruses, hoping btrfs devs wrote unit tests etc (1), I can make a few redundant copies on different hard drives and usb sticks and leave some at my parents house etc.

Theoria Apophasis, a youtuber ("the angry photographer"), has a few rants about long term data storage and archiving.

(1) Tbh, I also have no faith in synology software, my user experience so far has been pretty disheartening. Photo station & moments are horrible, the dir is hard coded, you can't choose where your photos are stored which is just ridiculous. The backup software doesn't have an archive option for deleted files (like the CCC "Saftey Net" or rclone backup), it can only delete or keep the files.
Also, for example the AFP protocol loses the file modified date:
